minor modifications

Spent the past couple of evenings doing a little tinkering with the bodice. Nothing too exciting to look at, but I redid the armscythe so that I can wear it without anything cutting in. Much more comfortable and mobile.

And for the dress engineer.....
I will not ignore your careful seam allowances.

I've also decided not to put contrasting edging on the V in the front of the bodice. I don't like my lining fabric well enough, I'm out of ribbon, and I think I might like it better this way anyhow. That being decided, I topstitched beside the edge-most boning strips on the front. That should help keep everything in place. I do wish my handsewing were prettier though.

No pictures. It looks essentially the same. Next up: sleeve attachment points.
